Clearly Basketball needs a 4 point shot, defined by an arc 6" from the sideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaRisMa Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Aright folks. Original Content incoming. I recently discovered I’m not the only one that thinks anyone that records a video of a fireworks show is a total moron. Ive heard that a few places now and it gives me hope for the generation behind me. Obviously recording something is done to be rewatched later. No one in history has ever had an IQ above 90 and recorded a fireworks show that they were witnessing in person. Fireworks are to be recorded by TV outlets and foreigners, only. Foreigners get a pass, no need to explain other than say they just don’t get the same cool stuff we get regularly. TV outlets are showing people that can’t see them in person. Otherwise it’s only dummies out there recording the fireworks to watch again later. There is now officially an exception to that rule. If something goes wrong on a video of a fireworks show? You are gonna watch that video every 4th of July for the rest of your life. We’re talking a buddy goes Jason Pierre Paul, Roman candle fights, grass fires, mortars making it back to the ground before exploding. Etc. The Ring cam catching a van 9 months pregnant with fireworks exploding next to a family like it’s Ukraine. I love them all. Next year it’s phones out, make sure your recording the fireworks everyone. The closer you are to the fuse while recording, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that we light it up over the 4th but there are parts of the world that do it bigger. I’ve seen some shows in Brazil and Japan that were pretty spectacular. I did not take a video, though.

At some point, something is definitely going wrong. I still have a 1995(ish) video of a mortar being accidentally kicked over and creating a quite spectacular ground level display when the shell went off where all our cars were parked.

No, I’m saying there is a chance they haven’t had the American fireworks experience before, and want to actually show someone back home. A reason to record. Different cultures, etc. I have videos/picture from my vacations too. Why did you go to Brazil and Japan? Ts and Anime? Just checking.

I’ve lived in Brazil at a few points in my life, Japan strictly for travels but it has an ancient culture that goes a whole lot deeper than anime. Also, not sure what Ts is.

What’s the coolest thing you saw while there? If you say fireworks…. For me, I loved old school samurai and ninja lore growing up so I loved the temples, castles and gardens near Kyoto. I also did some amazing hikes in a few national parks. The hot springs and onsen culture is pretty awesome and you'll never have a bad meal. Tokyo is it's own beast but you can see so many places once you understand the metro system. I would recommend bullet training out of there to see more traditional parts but f you get out at Shinjuku station and walk around, you'll feel like you're living in a video game. I actually just got back from there last week. The dollar is currently more favorable in exchange than it has been since the 80's and flights from the west coast are cheap. If you're thinking about going, this is a pretty good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 I like to take a time lapse of fireworks. Get like the last 30 seconds and it goes off in 3 seconds, it looks neat. A slo-mo video is also pretty cool, the sparks fall really neat. Guess I am a moron with a sub 90 IQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a video yesterday (?) of some guy that (according to the written comment...) had put a lit firecracker in an Uncle Sam hat and was dancing around with it under the hat....until it blew a hole in his head and died - again, according to the written comment. Thank goodness they didnt post the guy's head getting blown apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
